right but with motor current limiting the battery current will always be less than or equal to the motor current. same as battery current limiting except the battery current will be even lower at some points.
Its possible and easy enough. I've been making plug molds for large scale R/C aircraft for years using the foam process. I've also made molds and body panels for various other projects such as experimental aircraft, custom automobiles, and go karts. I think I have the experience to know what is possible and the pros and cons of many different choices. Your project so far based on the pictures is incredibly simple. It wouldn't be worthwhile for me to spend two days on a single part for the plug alone. You could have the actual part pulled in two days.safe said:Don't give people unrealistic expections of how much effort is involved... if you do they will become frustrated and give up. I'm hoping that people will realize that it requires real work and do it themselves anyway.
That line right there indicates your complete inexperience with such work. You shouldn't be so doubtful of others if you have no practical experience of your own.safe said:2. Never sand with your bare hands because that just repeats the errors that already exist. Use a sanding block and that way you are only sanding off the high spots and not digging the low spots any deeper.

Beagle123 said:Wow. Nice job safe. How much will your bike weigh when you're done?
dirty_d said:holy crap that looks awesome, all you have left is the front fairing now right?
dirty_d said:where on earth did you find those 24" wheels? all the bike part sites i go to only have 26" wheels. i need two 24" wheels with disc brake hubs, and as cheap as possible, it seems like the online stores only sell the very expensive stuff for people who are really serious cyclists. have any tips? i might just end up using 26" wheels with regular sized tires.
safe said:So I'm in a sense "cheating" on "her" and flirting with nice weather and bike #001... I guess all of us guys are scum... :wink:
I suspect that #001 knows about #002 and boy what a cat fight that would be if they ever met! I wonder if this could make a good Jerry Springer show? :lol:
